    Affordable Peace of Mind

    I just bought a rather high-end desktop computer, and missed the battery that laptops offered. They prevent damage and data corruption from under-voltage, sudden power loss, and even surges. This UPS was discounted by over 50% at time of purchase, and it runs well. I haven't tested it, but it should provide enough power to safely power down. Due to the lack of a data cable, I wouldn't feel comfortable using this for an extended duration on the battery. And while this isn't what the battery was made for, my computer stays on all day, thus a sudden power loss is still possible (though it may not cause damage). More expensive versions of this unit can tell the computer to shut down safely when reaching a certain threshold, via USB. For five stars, this unit should include a rudimentary solution to this, even if it makes the price somewhat higher. But overall, I am satisfied. If buying at full price, I would recommend getting the higher priced one with a USB cable, as it's not much more.

    Good basic UPS, but non replaceable battery

    Good basic UPS, to back up one or more low power demand devices. Be aware that the battery is not intended to be replaceable by the consumer.

    Nice to have a backup for NAS drives. Worth the money to keep drives safe. Only downside I see is a lack of compatibility with NAS enclosures (no way to shut down drives safely automatically)

    Great for personal computers. This have saved me multiple times whenever we have power outages. I am able to save what I am working on in the event power does not return. Recommend for people who work on the computer and constantly saving data entries.

    APC comes in cheap now!

    Got this in deep discount ~$25, while keeping the APC brand name and its quality. Got more than enough sockets and a few that has more space for the power adapter. It's a 450VA rating so pretty much I can put my NAS/modem/router stuffs in it; and it would stay about an hour (or less) during power outage. The only two downsides of this thing are there's no USB ports, meaning that it could not do a shutdown on your PC/NAS while the battery is out. Another thing is that the battery is not replaceable. But hey, what can you say about this for nearly the same price for a surge protector?

    Works great for power outage. When the power went out and waiting for the generator to kick in is a minute and a half gap. Have one on satellite dish for tv and the other on internet router. Saves from having to reboot both due to power loss. Never missed a second of tv.
